The Year of the Rose Published May/June 2002
(NAPSA ) - A rose may be a rose, but there are times when it's a lot more. This is the "Year of the Rose," and for many, it's time to celebrate America's national flower and the universal symbol of love. What better way to celebrate than by planting the 2002 All-America Rose Selection (AARS) winners, Starry Night and Love & Peace in your garden."Chosen for their outstanding quality, disease resistance and easy maintenance, Starry Night and Love & Peace are perfect roses to kick off this year's exciting celebration," states AARS President Phil Edmunds. "These outstanding roses join the ranks of the best of the best." Starry Night, a landscape shrub, sports pure white dogwood-like flowers that bloom from spring until late fall. Its spreading medium green glossy habit provides privacy and a beautiful backdrop. Many gardeners plant Starry Night in a container, as a border or in a large planting and then find themselves admiring how it grows and blends with the other flowers in their garden.Love & Peace, a hybrid tea, provides classic beauty with modern novelty. It exhibits enhanced blooms and vigor characteristics of its father, the famous and popular Peace.
Displaying five-inch, golden yellow edges with pink flowers, Love & Peace adds color and fragrance to your garden. It offers a sweet and fruity scent that often stops passers-by in their tracks.The 2002 AARS winning roses are on sale now at nurseries, garden centers, online and by mail order.
